BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent ,No. 785,592, dated March 21, 1905.

Application filed September 20, 1904:. Serial No; 225,249.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RUTH E. Conn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boulder, in the county of Boulder and State of Colorado, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to an improvement in bottles, and particularly that class of bottles designed to contain poison or the like.

The main object of the invention is to construct the bottle of distinctive configuration to adapt it to be readily recognized by touch or sight, whereby to prevent the accidental use of its contents.

The preferred form of bottle is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, where- 1n Figure 1 is a perspective view taken from the rear of a bottle constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same, taken from the front. Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical central section of the bottle. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section.

Referring to the drawings, my improved bottle 1 is preferably of rectangular shape, having concaved side and rear walls 2 and a convex front wall 3 when viewed in cross-section, as shown in Fig. 4. This arrangement and form of the wall provides a bottle which may be conveniently handled, owing to its concaved side and rear walls, and at once indicate to the touch by such concave formation the nature of the bottle. The convex front wall provides for the convenient application of the usual label, and such front wall is preferably labeled, by blowing or otherwise, with the word Poison, a suitable background of a distinctive color being preferably provided for the word. Y

The neck 4: of the bottle curves from the body 1, projecting toward the front wall of the body, as shown. The rear portion of the wall 5 of the neck is thickened to provide an offset 6, having a plane horizontal surface 7 and a vertical wall 8, the plane portion 7 preferably projecting beyond the plane of the Wall 8 to provide a bead 9. It is understood that the thickened portion 6 of the neck is an integral part thereof, being formed in the blowing of the bottle. The plane surface 7 of said portion 6 is suitably colored and bears the usual distinctive poison-sign, such as the skull and cross-bones. The bead 9 is also colored to direct special attention to the distinctive characteristic noted, whereby to indicate to the sight the nature of the bottle.

Owing to the curvature of the neck A it is practically impossible to pour from the bottle without noticing the sign upon the surface 7 whereby the user is safeguarded against accidental use of the bottle.

A bottle constructed in accordance with my invention will indicate at once to the user, both by touch and sight, the nature of its contents, thus absolutely preventing the unintentional or accidental use of the bottle.

The bottle is of simple construction and readily and cheaply manufactured and is thoroughly efi ectivefor the purpose designed.

Having thus described the invention, What is claimed as new is 1. A bottle for the purpose specified having a curved neck, one portion of said neck being thickened to provide a vertically-extending offset adapted to receive a sign-mark.

2. A bottle having curved walls, a neck curving toward one of said walls, the wall of said neck being thickened to provide an offset to receive a sign-mark.

3. A bottle having curved walls, a neck projecting from the bottle and curving toward one of said walls, a portion of the wall of said neck being thickened to provide an offset extending vertically from the bottle.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
